What's wrong with my car..
Hi fellas, my maxima has been acting weird lately. Sometimes it shakes back and forth when I come to a stop, the car just shakes badly like it's gonna bust out instead of being stopped...I don't know what's going on. I can still rev the car pass 4k rpm..so i don't think it's my MAF. Please help me to figure out. There's no ses light, but i'm not sure if the bulb is blown...thx

Yeaaah...I have that too at the rear. It only happens when I stop at a high point -- like on a highway thats way above ground. I don't know why it happens, but I suspect it has to do something with the exhaust. I dunno - blah.

Could be the tranny also. I seen torque converters locked up and won't dissengage when coming to a stop. This causes a vibration, and alot of times feels like misfire and engine wants to die out, or dies out. Basically its like driving a 5spd car, and coming to a stop without pushing the clutch in- the wheels wanna spin cause the tranny is still engaged in a gear, but it can't cause the brakes aren't letting it ! U say something bout the car wanting not to stop but to still go ? sounds like a tranny.

my fault, i glanced at your side profile and thought it said 2k1. you can definately have the transmission checked out but my guess is that its a misfire caused by the 1 or more coils. they have a very high failure rate in 99, 00 & early build 01.
